A Letter to Our Customers

This October we celebrated our Customers for Park’s 150th Anniversary. Without all of you, we would not be who we are today. You have stood by us in some of our toughest times, trusting us, and building us back up. We are so thankful for all of your dedication and business in the past 150 years. Even though our company has gone through many changes, our customers are still at the foundation and heart of our company. Gardening is a way of life, a way to give back to the earth, and a way to help others better their lives.

So many people have found themselves in hard times and turning to the garden to return to their happy, peaceful selves. It’s a way to restart a lifestyle as you simultaneously give life to the environment. People change their diets, help pull people out of the hunger epidemic, start nonprofit organizations, and save money through gardening. It’s more than just having a plant in your yard, it’s everything.

Our founder, George W. Park has been a great inspiration for us. His motto was, “your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money”. This still rings true today as we aim to bring the joy of gardening to as many people as possible. For this month we wanted to celebrate YOU. Enjoy the following reviews, garden proverbs, and funny/sweet quotes. Thank you again for your loyalty to our business and happy gardening.
